i read the post all right. I noticed a ton of errors with this that would just ruin the game. The first one being that any weapon is allowed. Knowing snk he won't allow this only one gun rule and give the same BS excuse "they bought it they can use it" and not see how much this breaks gameplay. That's why if there's ever going to be events like this. They get to chose 3 guns that everyone choses but can only be used in the arena (like laser tag). The guns should look something like this

Basic gun:
that gun should be just a cloned M4 since that's the bread and butter of eras combat.

Since no one has given a full explanation of how guns worked. I made a conclusion a while back saying that the closer the freeze rate is to the ROF = how much time you can move between shots. Please correct if I am wrong.

SMG- allows higher maneuverability and fast ROF at the expense of low damage, high reload, and a low clip
Damage 5
clip 16
reload .6
ROF .2
spread .13
clip 16
freeze .07
time to move .13
t2k = 2.1
btk = 10

Heavy- heavy hitting 9 dmg with very high maneuverability and a moderate reload at the expense of a low clip
damage 9
clip 12
ROF .35
spread .65
freeze .17
reload .3
time to move .18
t2k = 2.1
btk = 6

2nd issue is the whole damn thing in general. I can not stand the whole warp back to lobby and not be able to play again until next round. I am more of a fan of kill limits. I say the arena should hold a max of 60 players. The 60 player map would be large, if theres less than 30 players then you down grade to a smaller map and if theres less that 15 players you go to an even smaller map.

3rd issue, its not an event. This needs to be set up like zones showdown. This being it is an event that occurs every 5 minutes and it notifies everyone. Zone has over 10x less players and I have never ever seen showdown empty.

4th issue the reward: Not good enough, 1st place should be 1ec 2nd 650, 3rd 300. This would actually encourage players to play since anything that gives out EC everyone will pounce for it and join.

5th issue scoring. I hate the whole kill-death thing. I would have not a huge issue with it if my gun system was implemented since there balanced in t2k (get down to it that matters the most). But if anygun was allowed hell no, that crap needs to go over to total kills because I can get more kills than a typical bar skrub with a sak than he can with a BAR. Era MUST if they want to get more players and a higher income, learn to make sure that every player has an = chance at winning weapons wise. Because lets face it. Even if you got mad skills like me in era. The odds are so much stacked against you if you use a low tier gun. No one enjoys losing or being mauled by kids who spent 80$ to buy a no skill gun and claim they are so MLG and you being harassed.

6th issue boosters: easy fix, write a script that says if you kill the same person 2 times in a row within 20 seconds then you are kicked out.
